Opposition to the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Asad has been gathering momentum for months, but neither the resistance nor the regime and its respective supporters is expected to prevail decisively. That means civil war. The panellists will open a discussion about whether and how external powers should intervene in Syria to try to save lives and/or resolve the conflict.
